Anders Ramsay Agile and UX Coaching

A common challenge for many organizations is how to best leverage a small number of UX specialists across a large number of projects. UX Coaching is an emergent pattern that makes this possible, but does so in a highly Agile way.

Bob MacNeal Take-away from CodeFreeze 2010 Conference

I was at the CodeFreeze conference last week. The 1-day gathering had the official theme Re-designing Agility, but the theme I pulled out was Discovery & Delivery where most Agilists are adept at delivery, but lacking in what was called discovery (e.g., stuff like incorporating interactive designers and story mapping). Alan Cooper, Jeff Patton, David Hussman, Tim Anderson, & Ward C… Continue

Jon Dickinson XPDay2009 Agile UX Experiences Write Up

I was at the XPDay conference at the beginning of this week.

jc Grosjean (www.agile-ux.com) User Stories : Hear the User Voice !

User stories are increasingly used on Agile projects. This popularity is a very good thing, especially for UX practitioners. Goal and business oriented, their simplicity and a immediate focus on acceptance criteria make them terribly effective on design projects. Once the 3C described (Card, Conversation and Confirmation) and INVEST criteria well understood, when the team and Product Owner start to discover their own stories, they often ask me if the “User Voice” format must be respected … This… Continue

Fitzgerald Steele Avoiding Bias in Agile UX

(reposted from my blog: the original has more links/references) I enjoyed reading Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior. There are many cognitive biases that affect how we think. The authors did a nice job of distilling the research on cognitive bias into an accessible popular science book. The book made me think about how I approach web design and evaluation.
